Magnus' Bath Trach

This is a Fenestrated trach tube (See Types of Tracheostomy
Tubes) which acts as a plug to prevent aspiration of water into the trach tube during
baths or swimming. After this bathing trach tube has been installed they then cover the
trach site with several layers of big thin pieces of glued plastic. "This works very
well!" according to Magnus Dad.

Note: This procedure would not
work for kids with upper airway obstruction and swimming with a tracheostomy is
not recommended
